I know heaven in a glass is over-used, but this was close. A gorgeous deep red color with purple highlights and very aromatic with flavors of coffee, spice and a light floral note. Soft tannins greet the palate with flavors of the cocoa and the juicy fruits of the Merlot shining through. This was a treat.

91-92 Another example of how 2001 Bordeaux wines are shadowed by the overhyped 2000 vintage.This wine is full body. Silky-smooth. Hints of bell pepper (Cab Franc?). Sophisticated. Meaty. Cassis. Blackberries. What a wonderful Bordeaux. Ready to drink.
